Earl Denman Miller

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Earl Denman Miller, who departed this life on July 4, 2026, at the age of 84. Earl was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, and cherished member of the Miller family.

Born on May 26, 1942, Earl was the son of Viola Florence Draney and Denman Hector Miller. He grew up in Afton, Wyoming, and graduated from Star Valley High School in 1960. After high school, Earl completed Army boot camp and married Glenna Louise Lloyd on September 23, 1961. He then served in the U.S. Army as an SP4.

Earl and Glenna welcomed two children into their family: their daughter, Michal Louise Miller, on September 10, 1964, and their son, Earl Chad Miller, on July 1, 1967. After leaving the Army Reserves, the family settled in Denver, where Earl drove city buses, helped build the Chatfield Dam and Eisenhower Tunnel, and rebuilt city streets. He later provided for his family as a freight truck driver and member of the Teamsters Union. Earl finished his career driving tour buses across the West, a job he enjoyed immensely. He was also honored to drive buses during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, where his skill and professionalism made him a valued driver for the International Olympic Committee and Olympic athletes.

Earl and Glenna traveled as far as their motorhome would take them and lived a beautiful life as traveling campground hosts. Earl loved Glenna deeply and cared for her until her death in 2015.

On April 22, 2017, Earl married his high school sweetheart, Tomie Loy Call Schreiber. Together, they enjoyed an adventurous retirement filled with traveling the globe, sharing sweet moments while serving in their local temple, and spending time with their families.

Earl was known for his strong work ethic, his ability to make friends wherever he went, and his unwavering dedication to his family, church, and community. He found great joy in the outdoors, especially fishing, camping, and traveling. He also loved flying small planes and treasured the freedom and adventure it brought him. Earl was a man of many words and talents, and he touched countless lives with his warm smile, boisterous sense of humor, and warm hugs. He was the dictionary description of  "Jack of all trades".

Those who knew him closely also saw his sentimental side, which was evident in the care he showed to those he loved. Earl is survived by his wife, Tomie Schreiber-Miller of Saratoga Springs, UT; his children, Chad Miller of Denver, CO, and Michal Brannan of Saratoga Springs, UT; his grandchildren, Curtis Brannan of WA, Jessica Brannan of WA, Daly (Josh) Brownlow of South Jordan, UT, and Travis Miller of Denver, CO; and two great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Denman and Viola Miller; his sisters, Eleanore Kennington, Ruth Kennington, and Joyce Olson; and his first wife, Glenna Miller.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 270 W. Harvest Hills Blvd., Saratoga Springs, Utah 84045.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Utah Valley Hospital and Aspen Ridge Home Health and Hospice. Their kindness, compassion, and loving care meant so much to Earl and his family.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his laughter, kindness, and love for family will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

In Lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Earl's memory to help with expenses. Venmo @chad-miller-169
